Mo Qiong's surprise only lasted for a split second, because he instantly figured it out.
Those who have the ability will eat, those who don't will starve. Aside from that, there is a third option, learn the ability, then eat.
It doesn't matter if you can't learn it, even if you can't learn it today, you can at least try.
This attitude is definitely better than staying at the Starting Point or staying at the seaside to put on a show.
Being brave enough to test the waters, knowing how to make up for your shortcomings, this kind of ambition is probably what the instructor wants.
The same goes for dealing with anomalies. When an anomaly is constantly threatening humanity, normal people can stay away from it, and peripheral members can do their best to stop at the edge of death.
But as an official member, there is no 'taller person' who can hold up the sky.
So even if you don't have a choice, you have to do something. Even if you don't have the ability, you have to increase your ability to do something. You can't just stand on the edge of death and watch the anomalies crash into the sea.
An official member can't be powerless, even if that's the case, you have to think of a way to 'make a difference'.
He didn't think about it before, but since he can swim, he didn't think about what a person who can't swim should do.
But as soon as Du Xiaoyu said that, Mo Qiong immediately understood: this must be right.
"You're right, this is most likely what the instructor wants to see" Mo Qiong smiled and said.
But Du Xiaoyu shook his head: "I don't want to know what the instructor thinks, his evaluation won't let me deal with anomalies"
"I came to Limit Island to learn how to swim. I wanted to learn how to swim a few days ago, but unfortunately, I still can't do it, so I came here"
"My goal is to become an official member, and to be able to deal with all anomalies in the shelter as long as I live. If I can't even learn how to swim, even if the instructor approves of me, I shouldn't stay "
Du Xiaoyu's words instantly pulled Mo Qiong back to reality from trying to figure out the instructor's thoughts.
That's right, he didn't need to think too much about it and worry about his gains and losses.
He didn't participate in the special training for the instructor's approval, he wanted to become an official member, he wanted to devote his life to the shelter business.
The only way to do this was to steadily improve himself so that he could safely deal with more anomalies.
The special training on Limit Island wasn't an exam, it was to become stronger.
It wasn't to get good reviews and then die at the hands of anomalies.
After figuring this out, Mo Qiong's thoughts became much clearer. Initially, she was wondering what the instructor was testing for people who knew how to swim. But now, all the distracting thoughts about what the instructor was testing were swept away, and he no longer worried about it.
"How are you going to learn how to swim in such a short time … Let me teach you, I'm pretty good at swimming," Mo Qiong said.
Perhaps Mo Qiong sincerely hoped that Du Xiaoyu would succeed, so he offered to teach him how to swim.
Although this would delay his time, this was not a race. It was just a meal.
The Lan Bai Club's training did not have any vicious competition. They never said that there were only a certain number of spots in a batch. If they eliminated others, their chances of success would be higher.
There was no such thing. In theory, this kind of special training had the possibility of being completely eliminated or completely passed.
If everyone passed the final graduation exam, then everyone would become an official member. The Lan Bai Club was very happy about this because they were really short of people.
It was just that this kind of thing had never happened before in history.
This made it very clear that the special training on the Extreme Island was not a competition. They were all classmates and teammates.
Since they were teammates, it was normal for them to support each other. He was practically the overlord of the water. Helping Du Xiaoyu was a piece of cake.
"Really? That's great! "Du Xiaoyu was overjoyed when he heard what Mo Qiong said.
Therefore, the two of them walked together through the forest.
The forest terrain was complicated and did not save as much energy as flat areas. There were no roads at all. Most of the time, they had to cut through thorns and climb over slopes. They might not be walking in a straight line.
After walking for about a kilometer or two, Mo Qiong suddenly looked up and saw a figure floating in the air.
"Walking in the air."
"Is this really the standard for members?"
The person in the air was Waveshift. He had been observing the people in the forest from the air.
Like Luo Yi and the others, he could jump in the air. His legs stepped on the air as if he was stepping on a wall. The invisible support allowed him to borrow strength. Whether running or jumping in the air, he was very cool.
This ability was something that all the official members that Mo Qiong had seen could do.
Du Xiaoyu looked at Waveshift enviously. "I can't wait to learn this ability."
"As long as we continue to train, it will be passed on to us sooner or later. This is the standard for official members," Mo Qiong said excitedly.
Although he did not know the details of this ability, based on its characteristics and absolute accuracy, he could at least shoot an invisible air cannon.
"Learn. I'm here to learn. Whether it's their knowledge or this special ability, I must work hard to learn it," Mo Qiong thought to himself.
Du Xiaoyu must have had the same idea.
The two often looked at the sky and ran with Waveshift as their positioning. This saved them a lot of trouble.
Not long after, they finally passed through the forest and reached the beach on this side.
"That boat …" Du Xiaoyu pointed at the yacht in the distance. It was brightly lit and was very eye-catching even in the dark.
They were not the first group to arrive. In fact, they were very late. They could see that there were already people fighting against the waves. Some were even almost here.
On the shore, there were still some people who did not know how to swim standing and watching. There were already a dozen of them.
"This … is the dormitory?" There were rows of small apartments by the sea. They were obviously living quarters, but there was no one inside.
It was obvious that this was a place prepared for the sixth group.
"Those who chose to stay at the starting point are probably going to die," Mo Qiong said immediately.
If it was as expected, they would have to come here if they wanted to sleep tonight. Those who thought they were smart and did not set off at all must have made a huge mistake. The majority of the group would never return to the starting point.
Those who stayed at the beach, even if they were not eliminated, their attitude and beliefs would be extremely low.
"Splash." Du Xiaoyu slowly walked into the water.
Although Mo Qiong followed him, those who could not swim naturally did not expect that someone would protect Du Xiaoyu as he learned how to swim. Hence, they exclaimed, "Du Xiaoyu, do you want to die?"
Everyone knew that Du Xiaoyu did not know how to swim. He was the one who stood out to say this.
Du Xiaoyu was also very nervous. It was obvious that he was afraid of water. When the water reached his chest, he was extremely scared. He raised his head and looked nervous.
"Didn't you learn before? Don't worry and swim boldly. I guarantee you'll be fine. "Mo Qiong stood at a deeper spot with a calm expression. What a joke, he could not drown even if he wanted to.
Hearing his words, Du Xiaoyu began to try to flop around.
At the same time, those who could not swim on the shore came up and said in disbelief, "Mo … Mo Qiong? You want to help him get on the boat? "
Mo Qiong smiled and said, "Is there a problem?"
Those who could not swim immediately said happily, "You're so nice. Yes, the instructor must be testing our teamwork. Since you can help him, you can help us too. The rules did not say that you can't help those who can't swim. Bring us on the boat."
Mo Qiong could not help but roll his eyes. He was speechless. These few who could not swim actually wanted him to carry them on the boat?
Yes, he could do it theoretically, but how many trips would he have to make? He would not drown, but it did not mean that he had unlimited stamina. With more than ten people, he would have to swim two kilometers for a round trip. This would be a thirty-kilometer journey. Did they think he was made of iron?
"Find someone else. I don't have that ability!" Mo Qiong said decisively.
"Then Du Xiaoyu, he …" Those who could not swim said. They knew that it was too much to ask, but they still said so because they saw Mo Qiong protecting Du Xiaoyu.
"He will still swim over with his own strength, but he has to learn how to swim first," Mo Qiong said.
Those who could not swim were in an uproar. "How is that possible? Learn at the last minute? How long will he have to learn? "
Mo Qiong and Du Xiaoyu ignored them. One taught seriously, the other learned seriously.
In fact, Du Xiaoyu did not need to learn at all. He remembered how to swim. After all, he wanted to make up for this weakness before coming to Limit Island.
Mo Qiong's existence was mainly to prevent him from drowning.
Instructor Yi Bo, who was in the air, looked at this silently with a subtle expression.
However, after more than ten minutes, Mo Qiong finally could not take it anymore. He finally knew why Du Xiaoyu could not swim even though he had prepared a few days in advance.
It was because he was too afraid of water. He had a strong fear of drowning, as if there was a shadow in his heart.
"Gurgle …" A wave surged, and Du Xiaoyu was immediately overturned by the water. He struggled like crazy in the water.
Mo Qiong hurriedly went up and lifted him up, even if he was completely stepped on.
"Is there a shadow in your heart? Why are you so afraid of water? Is your mind distorted? "Mo Qiong saw Du Xiaoyu's panicked expression and could not help but ask.
"It's not my mind distorted … It's okay, I can overcome it." As he spoke, he was hit by the wave again. Without Mo Qiong beside him, he could drown himself in the water that was more than a meter deep.
Mo Qiong frowned. This was troublesome. As long as the water reached his face, Du Xiaoyu would immediately struggle as if he had lost his mind. He completely forgot how to use the buoyancy and adjust his body posture.
In this case, not to mention tonight, even if he practiced until tomorrow, it would be useless.
As time went by, more and more people arrived and swam towards the boat in the distance.
Including the women, they all went into the sea. There were not many people who had not arrived yet.
Mo Qiong licked his lips. Almost an hour had passed, and Du Xiaoyu did not even know how to step on water. He was only slightly used to the waves hitting his face and was not so panicked.
"Bang! Bang! " Suddenly, Yi Bo, who had been staring at them, also moved. He stepped in the air and began to run towards the boat.
Someone among the non-swimmers immediately said, "The instructor is on the boat. There should be no one in the forest behind."
Obviously, other than Mo Qiong, only the non-swimmers had not boarded the boat and were wandering around the sea.
"Du Xiaoyu, do you think we don't want to learn at the last minute? But if it was so easy for us to learn, we would not be unable to swim until now. This is not something that can be learned overnight. "The non-swimmers said.
Du Xiaoyu frowned and said to Mo Qiong, "You get on the boat first. It is indeed easier to learn in the sea. I have improved a lot. I don't need you anymore. I will practice on my own."
Mo Qiong was speechless. Improved a lot?
"Don't. Why don't you wait on the shore? With your swimming ability, if no one cares, you will drown yourself in shallow water." Mo Qiong curled his lips.
Du Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "You get on the boat first. I won't be able to learn it today."
Mo Qiong sighed and turned around to look at the yacht.
Suddenly, he was stunned. Because the boat was clearly much closer to the shore.
Thinking back to the previous few times, it seemed that the boat was closer each time.
In other words, the boat was slowly approaching the shore. At this time, it only needed to swim 300 meters.
"Eh …"
Mo Qiong's lips curled up. He looked at the apartment by the sea again. He could not help but smile. "Alright, the boat … will reach the shore sooner or later."
"It is about to end, Xiaoyu. The result is not important. What is important is the process."
Sure enough, as time passed, the boat had already reached the shore.
People who had eaten their fill came down one after another. Yi Bo stood at the bow of the boat and said loudly, "All of you, come up and eat …"
